An Area Court in Jos , Plateau State presided over by Justice Shawomi Bokkos on Tuesday, 11 June, 2024 sentenced two bus conductors named Isah Abubakar and Abdulrazak Salihu, to three months imprisonment each for fighting in public and constituting a nuisance.
Justice Bokkos sentenced the duo after they pleaded guilty to the offence.
The judge, however, gave the convicts an option of N 10,000 fine each or three months imprisonment for disturbing the peace of the public.
Earlier, the police prosecutor, Insp Monday Dabit, told the court that information was received at the Laranto police station that the convicts were engaged in a fight behind the St Augustine Major Seminary.
